crow call
 

how to use a crow call for a locator call??

just immitate what a crow does last weekend in the missouri youth season my uncle used a crow and a owl and the birds hammered it!!
he did something like "CAA...CA CA CA" one long ca and afew fast ca's after it

I use an owl hoot before daylight and crow calls after sunup. Listen to what the crows are doing and imitate them. It's just a loud noise that turkeys respond to. There is no particular cadense that inspires a responce. Just caw away. I usually use 3 sharp calls, a pause and then 3 more.

It seems to me that you need to put some effort into it to get good responses. A typical crow call does not set them off around here. But, if you really hammer it, then wait a couple seconds, and follow up with another hard note or two, they will gobble at it much more often. The first few notes "prime" the turkeys and the last ones set them off.

I was actually going to post a question about this the other day and forgot until now. In my area, the crows are thick and they never shut up. I don't know if the gobblers are just used to them and ignore them or what. I've seen crows fly over gobblers in the fields and never spark a gobble. For whatever reason, I can't ever get them to gobble at a crow call. I've tried duck and goose calls with very limited success. I usually resort to cutting on a box call, but I hate doing that without setting up first in case the birds are close and move in quickly.

What are some other good locator calls besides an actual turkey call?

rw

pea **** works good my dad can do a pea**** with a diaphram and set the birds off like a roman candle but I rly dont know what how to explain the sound

yeah i got a pea**** call lol. when do u use them hk??? i tried to shock gobble the birds b4 the season but no responses

normally (during daylight,wont work at night)if they wont gobble to a crow my dad'll get our loudest diaphram and wail away if they dont respond to a crow ..80 or so% of the time I've seen dad do the pea**** they'll gobble to it..

when u say during the day do u mean like anytime during the day they will answer it or mainly in the morning when there about to fly down or when there on the ground during the early morning

on the ground dang near anytime of day if their in a tree i cant think of anytime ive heard it work(while their in the tree)
